Strap for Rectangular Date 24.5 Stainless Steel / Silver - Arabic

The lug width measures precisely 17 mm, calculated from the outer edge of one lug to the outer edge of the opposite lug. This specification is less common than the standard 20 mm or 22 mm widths, requiring bespoke strap construction. Always verify the measurement before purchasing a replacement strap to ensure accurate compatibility.

Alligator leather in fine grain preserves the minimalist aesthetic of the rectangular case. Aged vegetable-tanned calf develops a naturally evolving patina. For a sportive interpretation, cotton NATO straps create intentional visual contrast. Vulcanised rubber straps offer water resistance and mechanical durability, ideal for daily wear without compromise.

Use a dedicated spring bar removal tool, keeping your wrist stable and applying gentle lateral pressure to extract the bars from the lugs. Never force vertically, as this risks scratching the brushed stainless steel surrounding the spring bar seats. If uncertain, consult a specialist—Casati Milano provides bespoke strap installation assistance for this precise operation.

Yes. MilanoStraps manufactures straps engineered to exact 17 mm lug width specifications, ensuring construction and aesthetic compatibility with your 01 561 7656 4061-07 5 17 70FC. Each strap includes proportionally dimensioned strap loops and keeper mechanisms dedicated to this precise width.

A high-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, subjected to measured daily wear (with occasional rotation), typically functions for 18–36 months. The patina that develops signals refinement, not deterioration. Occasional use extends durability substantially. Condition with natural oils every 12 months to preserve fibre elasticity and prevent premature cracking.
